The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelengths of proton and electron having same kinetic energy:
(Assume mp=me×1849)
  1. 1:43
  2. 1:30
  3. 1:62
  4. 2:43

Solution

The de-Broglie wavelength is given by 

λ=hp=h2mK (As, p2=2mK).

It is given that

 (K)e=(K)p

Thus, the ratio of the wavelengths of the proton and electron is 
       
      λpλe=2Kme2Kmp=memp=11849=143.
